Against the Grain
Leaders and Followers
New America I thought this song could have been the official theme for the 2008 Presidential campaign, despite being released 8 years earlier.
Suffer
Tiny Voices
You A personal favorite.

All by Bad Religion, and I’m betting they have a ton more songs on the same subject.

The old self-congratulating anthem, Frank Sinatra “I Did It My Way”

Whenever someone mentions Sinatra’s signature tune, I have to give a nod toward Sammy because his I’ve Gotta Me—a wonderful nonconformist piece—moves me more (but I am openly biased in the favour of this member of the Rat Pack.)

The Middle by Jimmy Eat World is a good one. It’s affirming about feeling different, anyway.
